12 Days of Christmas in the South

For those of you who follow and read my blog, you are well aware that I totally adore everything about the South. From our way of life, to traditions, and the ways we dress, I am a complete Southern boy.

J & I visited my dad and stepmom’s home yesterday with my sister, BIL, and nephews. Dad lives along Bayou Lafourche, and the boys love to hang out on the dock and feed the ducks. The weather is finally very cold, so we did not see many ducks to feed. But, we did enjoy the dock.

Speaking of the Southern way of life, I am also a lover of a cocktail or two and am always searching for the perfect cocktail napkins. I found these great ones at Art Alley in the Pass {Pass Christian, MS}. A cocktail is never complete without a cocktail napkin- paper or linen.

12 Days of Christmas in the South

A mallard in a rice field.

Two Southern belles.(My Dixie Belles, of course)

Three Bourbon bottles.

Four fast horses.

Five seersucker suits.

Six churchbells ringing.

Seven pickups honking.

Eight boots a scootin’.

Nine catfish frying.

Ten biscuits baking.

Eleven hunters hunting.

Twelve magnolias blooming.

I adore these napkins, and they are surely a great conversation starter.

Good Morning, Ron! I love this post and as a good Texas girl, I too love a good cocktail! These napkins are so cute! I actually was raised in Minnesota but moved to Texas 14 years ago. Two years ago my hubs, Jason, took me to Kiawah Island and Charleston for Christmas. We stayed for 3 nights at the Sanctuary and 3 nights at the Wentworth Mansion. The deep south is now in my veins! -HA! My husband lived 15 years in Augusta, GA so we've decided that when we retire, we will relocate to either the Charleston area or possibly Savannah. NOLA is still on my bucket list of places to visit though! I wasn't born a southern belle but deep down I sure feel like one! Have a wonderful day! Hugs, Meghan

Hi Ron, The napkins are really cute and I like your take on the twelve days of Christmas. I received the oyster ornaments yesterday and wanted to say Thank You again..love them! I also appreciate the cute Christmas card. I hope you and J have a wonderful New Year.xx, Sherry
